On February 9th around 1 p.m. Kanye West released the Air Yeezy 2 “Red October” on Nike.com. It was only 11 minutes after the shoes were available for purchase that they sold out.

Today the vibrant colored sneakers emerged on various sites ready for auction, Ebay being one of them. It was here where a bid of £10,000,000.00 was placed, $16 million in American money.

My apologies if you disagree, but there are far more important things $16 million dollars could be used for than a pair of sneakers created by an arrogant American music artist that were originally retailed for $245 dollars.

There are rumors that this will be West’s last shoe with Nike after creative control issues sparked during the design of the “Red October.” I’m no sneakerhead but who knew deciding to make an all red shoe took so much creativity. And if he was really a God, don’t you think it’d be easier to get what he wanted?
